“is to reveal the mind and soul of the character through the words of the playwright so the audience can both hear and understand.” She addresses key elements of voice and speech – Respiration, Vibration, Resonation, and Articulation – in a straightforward style and grounds her approach in the elimination of the separation between the actor's voice and speech.
